Theatre Arts at the Journey Center

Another aspect of the Arts that we love to support and explore is the incredible work of gifted playwrights, screenwriters, actors, directors and designers. We are pleased to offer these opportunities to enjoy the theatre and films together and to be inspired by the worlds that open up to us there.

Thursday, October 25, 2012, 7:00 p.m.Join us for a great night of local theatre, food, beverages, live music and a wonderful silent auction featuring great items with a “be good to yourself and have fun” theme…all to benefit the Journey Center’s mission in our community! More>

The 6th Street Playhouse is a local treasure, offering excellent live theatre performances… AND they support local nonprofits by inviting organizations to choose an evening preview performance, sell tickets and raise needed funding in this really fun way! The play that we will be seeing is “Rabbit Hole”, written by David Lindsay-Abaire. It was the recipient of the 2007 Pulitzer Prize for Drama. Becca and Howie Corbett have everything a family could want, until a life-shattering accident turns their world upside down and leaves the couple drifting perilously apart. RABBIT HOLE charts their bittersweet search for comfort in the darkest of places and for a path that will lead them back into the light of day. "David Lindsay-Abaire has crafted a drama that's not just a departure but a revelation-an intensely emotional examination of grief, laced with wit, insightfulness, compassion and searing honesty." -Variety.

The evening will also feature a silent auction that we are calling “Be Good to Yourself and Have Fun!”, and there will be many items and packages available: dinners, movie and symphony tickets, local sailing and flying adventures, massage, acupuncture, etc. The auction tables will be open before and after the play and during intermission, to those who attend the event.

Gourmet appetizers, desserts, wine and other beverages will be available for purchase. All proceeds from the evening go to support the Journey Center. Cost: Minimum donation of $25 per ticket. There will be a total of 94 tickets available for this special evening! To purchase tickets, please contact the Journey Center at 707-578-2121.Location: The 6th Street Playhouse, 52 W. 6th Street, Santa Rosa
